A guide to getting back into the gym after a break off
Starting back after a break can be so hard!
Coming back to the gym after an extended break can be difficult so what do you do in this scenario?
The simple answer here is just go!
And while it technnically is that easy, in reality it is not.
especially if you haven’t trained for a long time and feel like you are too unfit or will make an eejit of yourself if you do go
But here are a few things you can do as you come back into training in a gym.
Have a plan- there are so many free workouts online (you’ll find loads of ideas on my page too if you need any inspo), Don’t over complicate it especially if you haven’t trained in a long time. A simple 20–30 minute workout will do starting back, you don’t need a mammoth 2hr session because it will become too daunting and you will not go.
If you are not confident in following a plan yourself, Join a class there are so many available out there and the group atmosphere can be both motivating and make it more fun!
Take it slowly, start at a weight you are comfortable with and make sure you focus on form and relearning the movements.
Warm up — You should be doing this anyway but especially if you haven’t trained in a long time you need to give the body a chance. Don’t go hell for leather straight away. It’s the easiest way to end up injured!
If you need help ask! There are staff in the gym for a reason thye are there to help you so there is no reason that you shouldn’t make use of them and ask them if you are unsure about anything.
And lastly have fun! It can be very stressful starting again but try not to make it feel like a chore! The more you enjoy it the more likely you are to stick with it!
If you have any questions about starting again or getting started for the first time, drop me a message and I’d be happy to help you!
